Abstract

Abstract: We describe a new Anaerococcus species isolated from human clinical specimens. Analyses of 16S rRNA gene sequences of three strains showed <98% similarity with its closest relative Anaerococcus octavius . Phylogenetically the isolated strains form a cluster and can be differentiated from other species of the genus Anaerococcus based on its phenotypic characteristics and its MALDI-TOF MS profile. We propose the name Anaerococcus nagyae, with A . nagyae DSM101193 (accession number KU043522) as the type strain. Highlights: The description of a novel Anaerococcus sp. Proposed name: Anaerococcus nagyae . Homogeneous phenotypic and genotypic cluster.
